Design and Development
At the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC), we work with your design and development teams to create accessible websites and applications. By embedding accessibility from the design phase onwards, we help you build inclusion into your product from the outset.
Our services give you confidence that your digital product can be used by people with a wide range of abilities. From wireframe and prototype reviews to tailored consultancy, we provide practical support throughout the design process.
Why accessibility matters
